Dagara from close to Birifu.
Bateba phuwe 34cm highBought from Baba Sylla, an antiquaire in Accra,
Ghana

An hieratic figure, made to be part of a
shrine; a dancing figure leaning, although with some thrust to the
torso creating a tension. A bateba that is alert to the rhythm of the
xylophone and poised to step lively.
